Awarded: May 2002
Recipient: Ceredigion & Carmarthenshire LEAs

The number of pupils in Wales opting to study a foreign language after the age of 14 is not high. To address this issue, Ceredigion & Carmarthenshire LEAs, supported by CILT Cymru and Agenda Studios, were given top-up funding from the Nuffield Languages Programme for their imaginative project to produce two 20-minute videos (one in Welsh and one in English) to show the benefits of language learning.

The videos have been produced by Agenda, a professional local television company, and feature a range of people who use their knowledge of another language in their work. Huw Edwards, the newsreader, has been involved in the project.

The finished videos, aimed at Key Stage 4 pupils, are being distributed to all schools and careers offices in Wales, and form a central part of CILT Cymru's campaign to enthuse children.
